Choose the appropriate word to complete the following sentence:
Let us pick some other film for tonight. I have seen this one ______ and still remember the whole story.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → before
An adverb is a word that tells how, when, where or how much something happens. It can also describe an adjective or another adverb, for example she sings sweetly, very hot.
Complete sentence: Let us pick some other film for tonight. I have seen this one before and still remember the whole story. The speaker saw the film at some earlier time. No length of time is given, so “before” fits.
| Option | What it tells | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) ago | always comes after a length of time, as in “two days ago”; the sentence gives no length of time | My grandfather built this house forty years ago. |
| (2) before (answer) | adverb of time: at an earlier time; it can stand alone at the end of a sentence and goes well with the present perfect | Have you been to Goa before? |
| (3) after | later than some time or event | The rain stopped, and the match began soon after. |
| (4) yet | used in negative sentences and questions, not in a positive sentence like this one | The postman has not come yet. |
